Brett Lee is a former Australian cricketer and a Channel Nine Cricket Commentator. After breaking into the Australian Test team, Lee was recognised as one of the fastest bowlers in world cricket. In each of his first two years, he averaged less than 20 with the ball, but since then has mostly achieved figures in the early 30s. He is an athletic fielder and useful lower-order batsman, with a batting average exceeding 20 in Test cricket.

Together with Mike Hussey, he has held the record for highest 7th wicket partnership for Australia in ODIs since 2005–06 with 123. Lee is known by his nickname 'Binga', which refers to 'Bing Lee', a chain of electronics stores in New South Wales. Brett Lee also plays for Kolkata Knight Riders, who won the IPL season five against Chennai Super Kings. On 13 July 2012, he retired from all forms of international cricket, although he continued to be available for the IPL and the local Big Bash League. Lee is also a competent lower-order batsman. His aggressive style and his strong physique often yields many sixes, including one six which flew out of the Gabba into the practice nets during a Test match against the West Indies in 2005, billed as the biggest six ever hit at that ground. During the 2005 Ashes series, Lee had numerous defiant innings, including a stand of 43 not out in the Second Test at Edgbaston, Australia's highest individual score in that innings. This innings nearly won the match for Australia but the other batsman Michael Kasprowicz was caught behind by Geraint Jones and England won by just two runs. After the memorable match, England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff went over to console Lee, a moment which came to symbolise a hotly contested series.

Lee had been considering retiring from Test cricket for some time since 2008 due to the physical strain. In February 2010, he announced his retirement from Test cricket after consulting friend and England rival Andrew Flintoff, stating that bowling "at 150km/h for five days is very hard on the body". He had been out with a string of injuries and had not played a Test since December 2008. He ended his Test career with 310 wickets in 76 tests, the fourth highest Australian total behind Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Dennis Lillee. On 13 July 2012, Brett Lee announced his complete retirement from all forms of cricket.
